Champions

Bob Champion:
I'm gonna win the Grand National on this horse!

Bill:
You're a lucky man.

Bob Champion:
So they said.

Josh Gifford:
Whatever happens, however long it takes, you're my first jockey, and your job will stay open. That's a promise.

Jo Beswick:
Bob, there's always a chance.

Bob Champion:
No, Jo, he's finished. And so am I.

Bob Champion:
Maybe I'll get lucky and get killed on the race course.

Bob Champion:
You can't blame me, Governor, the horse isn't right...

Josh Gifford:
The horse isn't right. There we go again! The vet says there's nothing wrong with him!

Bob Champion:
The vet didn't ride him...

Josh Gifford:
The vet could have bloody won on him! It doesn't look like you're going to make a comeback riding one of my horses, does it?

Bob Champion:
He'll jump anything you point him at, and he'll gallop forever!

Mary Hussey:
You're mad, Bob. Stark staring mad!

Jo Beswick:
When I was ill, they told me, because of the drugs and all that,

Barbara:
I spend all my time fending off guys like you.

Bob Champion:
I'm glad you made an exception.

Richard Hussey:
What does he think he's doing?

Mary Hussey:
He's mad.

Burly C*cks:
Over there you guys get peanuts for getting your neck broke. I say quit while you're ahead!

Bob Champion:
There are different sorts of courage. Fighting is the lion's courage, but running is the courage of a horse. Running and jumping. A horse will do anything for you, if he's genuine and he loves you.

Richard Hussey:
He offered you a ride, didn't he?

Bob Champion:
Thornton, Tuesday week.

Mrs. Champion:
Well it's nice to be remembered.

Mary Hussey:
Oh Bob. You're cured, so it's time to face the facts. Riding again was a dream! It helped you through your illness.

Bob Champion:
Don't waste your breath.

Mary Hussey:
The doctor told you your lungs are permanently damaged! You're as weak as a kitten! You've no feeling in your hands or feet! Bob, you can't ride a bicycle!

Bob Champion:
Yes, it will take a little time...

Bob Champion:
Sick or not, you're gonna have to face this sooner or later. What are you gonna do with the rest of your life? You can't be a jockey forever!

Bob Champion:
When I was ill, they told me, because of the drugs and all that, they told me I might never be able to father a child. Do you think you could live with that?
